Partial Government Shutdown Averted

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has passed legislation to avert a partial government shutdown and fund federal agencies through September. The vote provides critical momentum for the measure, which now moves to the Senate, where bipartisan support will be needed to get it over the finish line. House Republicans needed overwhelming support from their members, and they got it in the 217-213 vote. It’s one of the biggest legislative tests so far of the President Donald Trump’s second term, prompting Vice President JD Vance to visit Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning to rally support.
